@rebellenlied said: (from lilith!) — "... i'm not afraid to acknowledge that my son was an idiot," lilith heaves a sigh, spinning the wine in her glass as she spoke with her peer. the walls felt suffocating, and frankly... so did the white that her son and armies once embraced wholeheartedly. "claiming to be a lover of peace... and yet he was not afraid to shed a bloody path. while yhwach was my son, and i loved him as such... his methods were quite shameful."
— the mother of quincies takes a quick sip of the red wine as she and noah shared their conversation, patiently hearing whatever the control had to say. the war was over, and her son was gone for good. at least he no longer suffered, as grim as his rule was. "and i know that you'll make much better decisions than he would. and know, dear child, i intend to stand by you regardless of the path you take."
Unprompted // Accepting!
Compared to the stark white that surrounded them, Noah took note of the only colors that caught her eyes...
Red, from wine... and the dull pink of what Noah was wearing, blood that refused to come off of the whites she had scrubbed over and over again. It just made her thoughts wander until she heard the other speak, it was rather awkward knowing she had a hand in killing Yhwach, but it seemed lilith didn't....mind.
To her surface knowledge.
"...He ruined countless lives, this wasn't a paradise for quincies behind these walls..." Her eyes closed as Noah just moved to pick up her own drink, reopening her eyes to stare at her reflection on it's surface.
"...and it took so many people from us." Suddenly the chain around her neck felt heavy and suffocating, continuing to stare at her reflection before clearing her throat and looking up at Lilith.
"......Margaret started things for me, I'll just need her to catch me up to speed but...." She exhaled, "...I don't know. This is foreign to me, I don't know what I'm doing and I-" Here it goes again, her voice hitching momentarily. A hand lifted to the chain as she held it tightly, the usual tears threatened to spill but Noah refused...not in front of the mother of quincies...
"...Apologies, It's...it's... just a lot."
